Visitor Experience and Operations Manager – Ryedale Folk Museum

About the Museum

Ryedale Folk Museum is located in the heart of the North York Moors National Park. For almost sixty years we’ve conserved some of the area’s most magnificent heritage for current and future generations to enjoy. Our atmospheric buildings and collections, spread over six acres, tell a story about a rural way of life since Iron Age.

The Museum has recently launched a new strategic plan (2022-32) which puts a greater emphasis on how we will support the needs and wellbeing of the community. This is an exciting time to join our team as we embark on new projects and programmes to deliver our ambitions and help the Museum thrive.

The Museum has a small and friendly staff team, supported by a large group of volunteers. This job presents a great opportunity to make a difference to the work of the Museum and our rural community.

What you’ll be doing 

As Visitor Experience and Operations Manager, you will be responsible for the day-to-day smooth running of the Museum. You will lead a team of staff and volunteers, ensuring that high standards of visitor experience, operational management and commerciality are met consistently.  

This is a varied role, where you will balance the daily requirements of running a visitor attraction alongside longer-term plans and the general operational needs of the buildings, premises and utilities. The successful candidate will also deputise for the Director in their absence.
